I was wondering if perl -MCPAN is supposed to be usable on GoDaddy shared hosting accounts (linux).

I can access it, but did not know what to put for any of the questions when it was getting set up. And a module install failed. But it was not clear on if it was failing because it could not find the correct program to even look at a FTP site, it did not have room to download anything, it did not have access to some needed thing, etc, etc, etc. And if it is any of these I have no idea if a reconfigured CPAN would work, or where to even start.
